The subtitle of Jean-Marie Straub and Danièle Huillet’s first feature, from 1965, “Only Violence Helps Where Violence Reigns,” suggests the fierce political program evoked by their rigorous aesthetic. The pretext of the film, set in Cologne, is Heinrich Böll’s novel “Billiards at Half Past Nine,” which they strip down to a handful of stark events and film with a confrontational angularity akin to Bartók’s music that adorns the soundtrack.

Straub and Huillet make the layers of history live in the present tense, which they judge severely. The tamped-down acting and the spare, tense visual rhetoric suggest a state of moral crisis as well as the response—as much in style as in substance—that it demands.。在高速發展的中國，像蘇這樣的流浪者的生存空間已經越來越小。在杭州一條正在建設的二十四號大街旁邊，蘇和情人琴開設了一家簡陋的餐館，但因為沒有經營許可證，他們和其他一些非法住戶總是受到政府的驅趕，處世不驚的蘇和琴在另外的地方又建立起一個自己的餐館，但不久又被政府拆除。蘇決定回到故鄉，那裡有著他曾經的家庭和兒女，同時也有著琴的家人。但是已經在外闖蕩了30多年的蘇，家人對他的到來並不歡迎。導演通常默默地觀察蘇和琴的歷險，但偶爾也會介入，當蘇開始有不道德的行為欺騙他人時0.24號大街有著豐富多彩的主人公，影片展現了現代化進程中中國的轉折，和那些追趕不上這個國家飛速發展腳步小人物的故事。 China doesn’t have a lot of room anymore for peddlers like Su.
